Title VII, Indian Education ProgramTitle VII, Indian Education Program

The Title VII, Indian Education Program has been assisting eligible Alaska Native and Native American students since the law was first passed by Congress in 1972. The program provides support through:

  • Supplemental academic assistance
  • Counseling, home/school liaison and referral services; and
  • Cultural enrichment

The program is funded through Title VII of the No Child Left Behind law (NCLB). It is a formula grant, which means that school districts are eligible to apply for a grant and the funding received is based upon a formula that includes the number of eligible children who attend school in the district.

The purpose of the Title VII, Indian Education program is to support schools as they provide opportunities for Native students to meet and exceed state academic and cultural standards.
